Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Adam and Eve were the two Humans Adam was male Eve was female. Assuming that they had kids, how does it explain the current population of the world? I cannot understand what happened in between. Can anyone explain?

atanu Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Dear Barney, You seem to believe in non-dual Brahman. If that is so then, how all humans are created from Brahman. There has to be a principle of Purusha and Prakriti. But, Purusha and Prakriti, being descendent of Param Brahman will be brother and sister, and again it will be incest. Requirements of Physical union are at gross level. Even amoebas do not require sexual union for multiplying. So no incest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yasodanandana Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 this episode is also in vedic scriptures with other names used for both adam and eve.. the main different thing with bible is that the episode is not at the start of the creation and it does not have to do with all the world or universe and actually there's not a real start in the times and not a real creation of the worlds, the universes and the living beings in the spiritual world all is eternal, we are eternal, if we do not really die, as the christian churchs agree to say, it is not possible that we really take birth. if we are eternal it is not possible that we are in this way only in one direction in the material world this eternity displays itself in the samsara, an uninterrupted cycle of births and deaths, building and destroying, creation and dissolution so there was not a time where only two humans were existing (we are sorry but this "prison cell world" is constantly full of people who choose to act as rebel towards the absolute) and the bible episodes can be easily reconciled with logic and science if you study vedas, puranas, upanishads, itihasas and so on nothing really different in the fundamentals, but more subtleties, much bigger quantity of informations, more satisfaction for a modern mind jesus christ teachs with his example that we have to make our biggest effort to gain spiritual realization, even coming to the sacrifice of our human life.. so let us do the effort to discover the complete spiritual truth in vedic scriptures and in the connected literature all said by a christian born who does not feels to have really changed or betrayed his roots studying and practising this wonderful culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
